In my opinion, everything from George Orwell is worth reading, not only the classics like 1984 and animal but also other less known books like Down and Out in Paris or London and Homage to Catalonia. Not only was Orwell so prescient about his prediction of the future of the world and understanding of deep human psychology but he was also a great writer very pleasant to read, highly recommended!
@siggy47 and I were discussing these books only the other day. Enjoy them all and also Road to Wigan Pier which is more reflective on his politics.
Must admit I have never read Animal Farm…

Agree completely, and particularly as to what a great writer he was.
